Ethan Coffel

Ethan graduated from Northwestern in 2013 with majors in computer science and the Integrated Science Program, and he is now a PhD student at Columbia University studying atmospheric science and climate change impacts. He is currently working with high resolution climate models to better understand how and why extreme heat waves will change in the future, and to analyze what human systems may be impacted by these changes. He loves weather, airplanes, and coffee, and is very excited to finally be able to combine the three in graduate school.
